Modern version of hardtack

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups White Flour
½ cup Wheat Germ
1 tablespoon Sugar
2 cups Masa Harina
½ cup Quick-cooking Oats
1 tablespoon Salt
Sesame Seeds (optional)
Seasoned Salt (optional)
Caraway Seeds (optional)
Onion Flakes (optional)
cup Water

Directions

Mix all dry ingredients thoroughly. Add water. Mix with hands until well- moistened but not sticky. Divide into 4 parts, roll out each quarter until ¼ inch thick, place on cookie sheet (each part should cover half a cookie sheet). Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Score with a knife before baking, if desired. Break into pieces as needed.

Keeps indefinitely in air-tight, moisture-proof containers. Zip-lock bags are good for carrying hard-tack in a backpack.
